Primarily, I'd use it to give my son the best life he can have after contracting Guillian-Barre syndrome from the covid vaccine. A nice house close to me, money for the things he wants and needs and all the medical care and physical therapy he needs.
Having your life destroyed for doing the right thing is devastating, especially at 25 years old. He was valiantly still able to somehow continue working his remote tech support job until he was laid off. With the current market, it's unlikely he'll find work any time soon and even less likely to find an employer that will tolerate occasional days where the intense nerve pain is too much to bear.
- mirekrusin 3y agoIs it/can it be confirmed? So many people took multiple vaccinations - there will be cases when timing overlaps with something serious. I’m not taking sides, just curious.
- shagymoe 3y agoIt was confirmed. There is a government fund to cover the costs of care related to vaccine reactions and my son received IVIG which is costly and was covered. Unfortunately, his ongoing medical issues are not covered and he's ineligible for disability. FWIW, I have multiple boosters and will continue getting vaccines approved by the government. He was just extremely unlucky. I am pro vaccines.
- engcoach 3y agoSorry to hear about your son’s injury. There is nothing more painful than watching your children suffer, and Covid vaxx injuries are a taboo topic (for some reason). Stay strong!
- shagymoe 3y agoThanks! I'm pro vaccines and just have to accept that he lost the vaccine lottery. The annual incidence of GBS is estimated to be between 1 to 2 cases per 100,000 vaccinated people.
